Chest X-ray

What is a Chest X-ray?

Chest x-ray is performed to get images of the chest area including lungs, heart and rib area. This determines the problems in the chest area at a very basic level making it the fastest way of diagnosing the issueHence it is mainly used for emergency diagnosis.

Why have I been asked to get a chest x-ray done?

Chest  x-ray is performed to:

  • Determine any problems in breathing like shortness of breath.

  • Check  for any unexplained coughs, chest pain or injury.

  • Determine any lung cancer or blockage in lungs.

  • Determine heart related problems.

  • Assess any disease like pneumonia or water filled in lungs.

How can I prepare for the x-ray?

  • Women should tell their doctors if there is any chance they may be pregnant because x-ray radiation can harm the baby. If in doubt, make sure to take a pregnancy test before performing the scan. If positive, consult your doctor.

  • Wear comfortable clothing and avoid jewellery or any other metal on the body.

How is the chest x-ray done?

The technologist will guide you into different positions for the chest X-ray. It’s important that you follow the instructions carefully. If you have pain or discomfort holding the position, inform the technologist.
